My good friends from Oxford ran a thread like this on their message board a few years ago and I always looked forward to it. So as the product of a Miami Merger I will give it a shot over here to see if it catches on. The rules are simple.

A Home win or Road loss is an even Par
A Road win gets you Birdie
A Home loss is a Boogie

We will send out 2 Six-Somes and play a full 18 holes. This year's winner will take home the coveted "Beta Bell Tower Cup", which is currently on display at Bulger Hall on the campus of the University of Akron. After one hole here are the standings:

Please feel free to make bad golf jokes or express your general displeasure with this thread.

Also....Please feel free to update this thread anytime you want!! Just let us know how many holes we have played. All compliments can be sent directly to my email, all complaints go to Helen Waite, my loyal secretary.

LOL I was told also that a bunch of fans left at halftime and soon there after.

And Dambrot is 12-5 at Duquesne (3-1 in the A10) with a nice win over Dayton. I bet the Akron fans wish they had him back.

need to pump the brakes on KD at Duq. He played his usual weak OOC, SOS of 330ish and Dayton is down this year. plus other 2 wins against GW and Fordham are close to bottom of league. 1st true test and they lost to VCU, they have yet to get into meat of A-10 play. Also looking at A-10 it seems a little down this year overall.

As we make the turn, the Bulls are still in control. But another Toledo birdie draws the Rockets to within one. Miami and Central Michigan also holed birdies on nine. It is nice to see the Bobcats losing home games and 7 of the pace!

Ball State climbs back into contention with a birdie and Central Michigan picks up a stroke. Northern Illinois and Akron get caught in the sand and bogie. Toledo will play the 14th hole in Muncie in what could be a decisive match.
